WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross sat down to speak with Busted Open regarding the upcoming match between Kazuchika Okada and Cody Rhodes which is scheduled to take place at NJPW's G1 Special

"I think it's a good booking. Cody needs this match. He needs to show everybody exactly where he is since leaving the WWE, because I believe, that eventually, Cody will make a triumphant return to WWE, [as] a much better performer and business man than he was when he left. And he will make a major impact. But right now it's a great place to see where he is in that evolution. Whether I'm right or I'm wrong, this is a big match for him, and of course, Okada got that pressure that he seemingly now has to have a five star like match every outing and that's damn hard to do"
